The former MVP, who was sent into free agency after the Knicks declined his contract option, joins a potential title contender besieged last season by immaturity. The most glaring issue was Morant’s behavior with firearms and an alleged assault.The 23-year-old is suspended the first 25 games of next season, leaving an opening for Rose in the rotation for at least the first two months.Rose became a regular DNP with the Knicks after his longtime coach, Tom Thibodeau, pulled him from the rotation in favor of Jalen Brunson, Immanuel Quickley, Quentin Grimes and Miles McBride.Rose played less than a combined five minutes after New Year’s Eve, averaging...
